I am completely guessing here, but I assume average device used to visit Facebook is an $150 Android phone. Metaverse would require multiple times more expensive equipment. Until the whole world gets a lot more prosperous, average user simply won’t be able to use the product. The product that relies on number of users.
- higeorge13 5y agoI came to write exactly this. The app ecosystem grew due to the insane numbers of users having a >50$ smartphone everywhere in the world; and this is what made fb and the rest of companies what they are at the moment. The price barrier to enter the vr/ar world would be considerably higher and almost unreachable in the 3rd or developing world, which is fb’s main audience.

- higeorge13 5y agoThere are so many apps targeting people in developing countries; fintech, crypto, ads, commerce, etc all accessible by a 50$ smartphone from some remote city in Nigeria or Guatemala. I can’t really see a vr/ar marketplace targeting these people, but perhaps i am short sighted.
